Copenhagen Consensus Centre President Bjorn Lomborg says climate change “is a problem” but a relatively “small one”.
“Yes, climate is a problem, but it’s a fairly small one, and we can actually end up making agriculture and food prices worse,” Mr Lomborg told News24 host Chris Kenny.
“Over the last century we’ve seen food prices decline significantly … we got to be even more productive.
“Into the future, yes climate change is likely to make [it] harder for some farmers, its actually going to make it easier for some other farmers … but net it will be a slight problem.”
